This weekend, 13th November, the tragic events here in Paris and loss of lives, really left a sadness in my mind.

A deep feeling of helplessness, and along with my kids a lot of questions.....

Why did this happen?

Who was responsible?

What is their end goal here?

Are we safe?

My logical side started searching for the rights and wrongs in the search of possible cause..... but as we turn through some potential political solutions and unfortunately some political causes, we still come back to an unspeakable wickedness, which managed to take the lives of truly innocent people.

People who had not chosen to enter the war.

People who held no political position on Syria, Iraq, Iran, no religious statement or negative views on these destructive groups.

- I don't want to honour any of the organisations, by naming them, who profess this evil, but they are clearly accountable for this unspeakable wickedness.

So, after today unfortunately, there will be new entries in our history books.

A new, very visible, very constant war, which is in process, clearly all around us.

While working today I came across this image.
Where fashion is often very far from the daily truths and troubles we all live in, I found this a very poignant statement.

STOP TERRORISING OUR WORLD.

Why do we have to be held hostage to these acts of violence?

Until we have an answer, why not stop fighting and look for a global solution.?

Neil Lewty, co-founder of Ink Inklusive in Amsterdam, both a creative consultancy and concept store with a unique blend of creative inspirations, expresses his new colour mood combining a techno grey melange Parka with an Autumnal caramel non denim combo.

This represents a dynamic switch for Neil, from traditional denim blues and his recent signature of alternative chic "All Black".

Do not despair he is not in denial of his denim roots, as can be revealed by his reworked vintage trucker jacket - and 5 pocket style his indigo roots are never far away.

But today is a new hybrid, sartorial denim look, with a parka coat from their new collection, a twist of future modernity.

Italian fashion blogger Maicol, bring a southern twist to our Northern European denim statement, but we can still feel his denim love. We are still watching this denim and ties combo..... something is in the air....As the current guest editor at Code Magazine, it looks like the "the Italian Job" is coming to Amsterdam.

Demet has her sights fixed on a totally democratic future, with the focus on youth, determination and a cultured vision.
We believe this and we would certainly vote for her if she was running for president!

But right now we can only appreciate her 'Denim Action'. with a perfect mix of vintage and newly designed 'Raw denim' she has her game totally on point!

Minime Paris is something very special.Drive, determination and an unbelievable fun- and professional character lie mysteriously beneath this high quality label.

With an apprenticeship at some of the best fashion houses including Chanel accessories, Marie, started her collection based on fun accessories, hair pieces, hats and shoes and soon successfully branched out into a modern urban collection featuring exclusive woven fabrics, customised denim jackets and a floaty sporty ball dress inspired capsule.
